This anime really is a lost jewel in its genre. The magic of its scenario transcends time (alright, it is quite pompous but still!).
Scenario : 7/10
A father wanders through space (and troubles) and involves his children inadvertently and tries to make peace with them, while trying to protect an Orbital Frame (yeah, a mecha) and to find his wife that was supposed to be deceased.
Art : 8/10
The anime is drawn in a realistic manner that didn't age at all. I really enjoyed it, no flashy colours, no exaggerated features, maybe lacking some emotions
...
Sound : 9/10
The OST is incredible. There are some really dark tracks and some epic combat tracks absolutely awesome. The ED is also really sad and beautiful although I didn't like the OP.
Chara : 8/10
Perfectly human reactions. Anger, Revenge, Pride, utter confusion, Joy, Sorrow, everything is depicted with utmost accuracy. This anime is a poem on human feelings.
Enjoyment : 8/10 which is the final grade i gave

Story : This. Is. Incredible. After the Earth was destroyed, humanity has fled in the depths of space. But their enemies, the alien species Gaunas, are coming to kill what's left of them. A squad is in charge of destroying them but will they make it ?
The story knows exactly how to bring you to tears or joy or any other feeling. Although this was [minor spoiler] quite a tear bringer [/spoil]. Can't describe any further without spoil.
Art : The not-3D-but-kind-of is weird. Though characters appear in 3D, the colours stay even, even on the edges, on the folds of the bodies. Really disturbing and
...
not beautiful at all.
Sound : The OP is awesome, so dark yet so cheerful. I can't describe it. The rest of the OST is a mix between techno and dark music which fits the anime perfectly.
Character : They do have feelings, and that is a change in the mecha genre. People have sympathy, people try to save others for selfish reason, not like the hero who saves mankind, you know...
This anime will please any fan of dark sci-fi, dystopic mecha or those kinds of things. But actually, the anime is worth watching just for its music. So if you're still there, go and watch it !

Story 7/10 : I absolutely didn't get a damn thing about the story but I had an overall impression of cuteness and sadness about this love story.
Art 8/10 : Nothing to say considering the age of the anime. Reminded me of Aishite Night mostly because of the chara I guess.
Sound 10/10: The music is a real tear-bringer, seriously.
Character 8/10 : We didn't have much time to get to know the characters but fair enough for a single 25-minute episode. The characters were way to similar but it's a common problem for almost every romance anime from the 90s
But damn, I need an explanation of this
...
anime or I won't sleep T_T

This review is both in ENGLISH and FRENCH.
I took advantage of today's broadcasting on NRJ12 (French 12th channel) of Arriety to watch it.
Story : 7/10
A sympathetic cute story about a sick boy who discovers the existence of some tiny people living under the family home. The story is pretty simple, no need to be complicated to make a beautiful story by the way. But I found it lacks of developments, maybe because the movie is only 90 min long but you easily get in. However the scenario is pretty unique since it is not the standard hero that goes saving everybody in the freakin' world but
...
helps a few people in bringing his modest contribution to them at his humble level. There also isn't the same everlasting scheme about a young boy/girl going on an adventure to find answers/relatives/peace/whatever... It just shows how you can act for the better in your way and it is quite touching. Plus, the desperate boy regain hope while understanding the way of life and the dangers these people are exposed to. The ending left me wanting more. I felt like it was unfinished (cf. Characters).
Art : 8/10
As always, the realistic Ghibli style worked on me. Beautiful, yet simple. The animation is deliberately slow to enhance the fantasy part of the movie. The art suits pretty well a « slice of life » story. Nothing else to say.
Sound : 10/10
The music is incredibly beautiful, so soft, soothing. It gives a dreamy side to the movie - in addition to the slowness of the animation – both making you feel like you're dreaming. It also enhances the emotional side at the right times. Fits perfectly the atmosphere of the movie !
Rehear value : 10/10
The opening and ending are also really nice (at least for the music, the lyrics were for me in French)
I can't talk about the voice acting since I watched it in French (French channel oblige). [By the way, it was quite good for a dub]
Characters : 5/10
The characters' characters (sorry ^^'') are well defined, but they lack of something, their relationship is only superficial and that doesn't help in liking them. Like I said in Story section, maybe the movie was too short to develop but you can't relate to them easily. Their flaws and strength are almost unnoticeable.
The lack of any motivation for the « villain », the old lady, is harmful to the story. She just does what she does for... no reason.
Enjoyment : 7/10
A good movie with beautiful music, simple story, quite touching, totally worth it if you have child to watch it with you. Not a complex and fascinating one, just a movie perfect to relax a bit after a hard day.
Overall : 7.4/10 rounded up to a 8 on MAL because Ghibli x)
FRENCH :
Histoire : 7/10
Une histoire sans prétention, simple et mignonnette, à propos d'une jeune garçon malade qui découvre l'existence de petits êtres vivants dans les combles de la maison familiale (celui-ci étant chez sa tante en attendant son opération). La storyline est plutôt simple mais on ressent comme un manque de rebondissements (peut être dû à la durée du film), non pas que l'histoire soit prévisible mais ce manque se reflète sur les personnages (cf. section Personnages).
Le scénario n'est pas standard dans le sens où il ne s'agit pas d'un jeune héros sauvant la Terre entière mais d'un garçon essayant d'aider une famille avec ses humbles moyens. Le scénario en devient touchant, des valeurs standards sont transmises par ce biais, sans être moralisateur pour un sou, comme par exemple la façon dont on peut agir pour le mieux, qu'il ne faut pas perdre espoir, et cela fait bien plaisir !
Cependant le film m'a vraiment laissé sur ma faim...
Dessin/Animation : 8/10
Comme toujours, un bon Ghibli comme on les aime. Simple, beau, percutant, réaliste. L'animation est volontairement languissante ce qui renforce le côté nébuleux, fantastique du film. Un perfect match pour un film « tranche de vie ».
Musique : 10/10
La musique est un pur chef-d’œuvre : incroyablement belle, douce et apaisante. Particulièrement bien utilisée, elle renforce les émotions transmises pendant des scènes clés. Même remarque pour l'OP/ED. Concernant les voix, j'ai eu droit à la VF (télé française oblige) et je ne peux donc pas juger de la VO. [La VF était plutôt bonne pour une fois]
Personnages : 5/10
Des personnages un peu trop plats, d'autres trop peu développés, une sérieux handicap pour le film qui fait chuter sa note. Les relations entre eux sont très peu développées, à part peut être pour les deux principaux protagonistes (et encore...). Il en est assez difficile de s'identifier aux personnages et c'est bien dommage. De plus, le « méchant » de l'histoire n'a absolument aucun motif valable pour nuire comme il le fait (ou alors au delà de ma compréhension)
Appréciation : 7/10
Un bon film, de bonnes musiques, une histoire simple, touchante (mais pas assez en raison du manque de développement des personnages). A recommander pour les amoureux des films toudoux ou des parents souhaitant profiter d'un bon film avec leurs enfants.
Note globale : 7,4/10 arrondie à 8 pour MAL, effet Ghibli ^^)
